A couple weeks later, Sam was walking back to her dorm from her last class of the day. She was happy that the day was almost over. Sam saw her friend, Britt walking over to her.
"Hey, there's a party tonight at Nate's apartment. Do you want to go?" Britt asked.
"Sure, what time?" Sam asked.
"At ten" Britt said.
"Okay, I will see you there" Sam said.
Sam walked to her dorm and put her books down. She started doing her homework. An hour later, Sam finished her homework and walked to her closet and picked out an outfit for the party that night. Once Sam found an outfit, she changed and left her dorm. She walked to her friend Nate's apartment and opened the door. Sam saw Britt and walked over to her.
"Hey, you made it" Britt said hugging her friend.
"Yeah" Sam said.
"There is someone I want you to meet. He's really cute and he's a senior" Britt said.
Sam followed Britt through the crowd of people. Britt then turned to Sam and looked at a guy that was standing in front of her who was tall and had dark brown hair.
"Bryan, this is my friend Sam. Have fun guys" Britt said as she walked away.
Bryan looked at Sam and smiled.
"Want me to get you a beer?" Bryan asked.
"Sure" Sam said.
Bryan walked over to the keg and poured a glass of beer into the cup. He then walked back to Sam and gave her the cup. Sam took a sip and looked at Bryan.
"So what kind of music do you like?" Bryan asked.
"I like everything. What about you?" Sam asked.
"I love rap. Rappers are so creative" Bryan said.
An hour later and six beers later, Sam looked at Bryan and leaned in and kissed his lips.
"Want to take this to the bedroom?" Bryan asked.
Sam nodded, incoherently. Bryan took Sam's hand and led her to an empty bedroom. Sam started taking her clothes off and then helped Bryan take off his. They both made love to each other. The next morning, Sam woke up with a headache and then realized that she was naked and in a bed. She turned over carefully and saw Bryan sleeping next to her. Sam cursed herself and got out of bed. She got dressed and was about to walk out the door.
"Hey, where are you going?" Bryan asked.
"I have to go, I don't usually sleep over at a man's apartment" Sam said.
"Oh, okay. Well I guess I will see you around" Bryan said opening the door for her.
"See you" Sam said as she walked out of the door.
Sam walked back to her dorm and realized that what she did was the stupidest thing she had ever done in her life. She sat down on her bed and took a deep breath. Sam heard the door open and looked at the door and saw her roommate.
"You look like you have seen a ghost" Danielle said.
"I just had sex with a guy that I don't know" Sam said.
"What? How did that happen?" Danielle asked as she put her backpack down.
"We were at Nate's apartment and the guy asked if I wanted a beer and I said sure. Then after a couple more beers, I was drunk. He asked if we wanted to go to a room and I said yes. We had sex and here I am. I feel so stupid" Sam said putting her head in her hands.
"Sam, you are in college. Things happen. It's not like you got pregnant or anything" Danielle said.
Sam's eyes widened.
"Oh my god. No" Sam said running around the room.
"No what?" Danielle asked.
"We didn't use protection" Sam said.
"Sam, listen to me. Everything is going to be fine. Just relax" Danielle said holding Sam's shoulders.
Sam took a deep breath and then released it.
"How do you know that everything is going to be fine? You haven't slept with a guy that you don't know" Sam said.
"You just need to take everything day by day. If you start feeling off, then go to your doctor and get checked out" Danielle said.
"My parents are going to kill me" Sam said putting her head in her hands.
"When are you going home?" Danielle asked.
"Tonight" Sam said.
"Just don't talk about it now. When you start to get symptoms then you need to tell your parents" Danielle said.
"I guess" Sam said.
A couple hours later, Sam put the rest of her stuff into her car. She got in and drove to Albuquerque. Sam got out of her car and walked to the front door and unlocked it. She then walked into the house and saw Ben. Ben heard footsteps behind him and he turned around.
"Hey, how was your week?" Ben asked.
Horrible. Is mom home?" Sam asked.
"Yeah she's upstairs" Ben said.
"Okay, thanks" Sam said as she walked upstairs.
Sam walked upstairs and went to her parent's bedroom and saw her mother in the bathroom. Gabriella turned around and smiled.
"Hey I didn't hear you come in. How was your week?" Gabriella asked as she hugged her daughter.
"It was okay" Sam said.
"Only okay?" Gabriella asked.
"Yeah. Can I talk to you for a minute?" Sam asked.
Gabriella looked at Sam and saw a scared look in her eye. She took Sam's hand and led her to the bed. The two women sat down.
"I don't really know how to tell you this" Sam started.
Gabriella looked at Sam.
"Sam, you know you can tell me anything. Even if it's really bad. I want to help you" Gabriella said.
Sam took a deep breath in and exhaled. She then looked at her mother.
"I think I am pregnant" Sam said shakily.
Gabriella looked at Sam and tried to register what she had just heard.
"Why?" Gabriella asked.
"I have been feeling a little off and one night I had unprotected sex. I was too scared to tell you" Sam said as she started to cry.
Gabriella put her arms around Sam and kissed her head.
"Sam, did you take a pregnancy test?" Gabriella asked her daughter.
"No, I didn't know what to think or how you would react" Sam said as tears cascaded down her face.
Gabriella sighed and kissed Sam's head.
"I am going to go buy a couple of tests" Gabriella said.
"Okay" Sam said.
Gabriella got up and walked out the door. Sam put her head in her hands and sighed. Forty five minutes later, Gabriella came back from the drugstore with the pregnancy tests. She opened the front door and was met with Troy.
"Hey, what's going on?" Troy asked kissing Gabriella's lips.
"Nothing is going on" Gabriella said.
"Brie, talk to me" Troy said.
"Babe, nothing is going on" Gabriella said.
Troy sighed.
"Okay, but if something is bothering you, please tell me" Troy said.
"I will" Gabriella said kissing Troy's cheek and walking upstairs.
Gabriella walked into Sam's room and closed the door.
"Okay, here are a few. Read the directions" Gabriella said handing the tests to Sam.
"Okay" Sam said as she walked into the bathroom.
Five minutes later, Sam walked out of the bathroom.
"How long are we supposed to wait?" Sam asked her mother.
"Five minutes" Gabriella said.
Five minutes passed and Gabriella looked at Sam.
"Do you want me to check them or do you want to do it?" Gabriella asked.
"You do it" Sam said.
Gabriella walked to the bathroom and turned over the tests. She read the directions and then looked at the tests. Gabriella took a deep breath and then walked back into Sam's bedroom.
"Well?" Sam asked nervously.
"You are pregnant" Gabriella said.
Sam put her hands over her face. Gabriella walked to the bed and sat down next to her. She put her arms around Sam and kissed her head.
"Aren't you supposed to be mad at me?" Sam asked looking at her mother.
"Sweetie, you are in college. It was your decision to have sex. I will support you in whatever you do, but it's your life" Gabriella said.
Sam sniffled.
"How am I going to tell dad?" Sam asked.
"The sooner you tell him, the sooner everything will be okay" Gabriella said.
"Can you come with me?" Sam asked.
"Yeah" Gabriella said.
Gabriella and Sam walked downstairs and saw Troy in the kitchen. He turned around and smiled.
"Hey, I was going to make some lunch, do you ladies want any?" Troy asked.
"No" Gabriella and Sam said simultaneously .
"The three of us need to talk" Gabriella said.
Troy looked at Gabriella and then looked at Sam.
"What's wrong?" Troy asked.
"You might want to sit down" Gabriella said as they walked to the dining room.
Three adults sat down and Troy looked at his wife and daughter.
"So what's going on?" Troy asked.
Gabriella looked at Sam, who looked at Troy.
"Dad, I'm pregnant" Sam said.
Troy looked at Sam and sighed.
"What?" Troy asked.
"I went to a party and got drunk. A guy I was hanging out with slept with me. We didn't use protection" Sam said.
"Sam, I don't even know what to say" Troy said rubbing his hands through his hair.
"Please don't be angry" Sam said as tears fell from her eyes.
Troy looked at his daughter. He couldn't believe that Sam was pregnant. Troy felt every emotion possible going through his body.
"Sam, look at me sweetie" Troy said.
Sam looked up and looked at her father.
"I am disappointed. I'm not angry. This was a mistake, I know" Troy said holding Sam's hand.
"You aren't going to kick me out?" Sam asked as she wiped her eyes with her free hand.
"No, I'm not. We are going to help you through this. By the way, do you know who the father is?" Troy asked.
"No, I was too drunk" Sam said.
Troy got up from his seat and held his daughter in his arms. The Bolton family was going to help Sam get through this difficult time in her life.
